Good kings, bad kngs, use and abuse of power. The whole play is about Kingship!

Five Kings infact

Pala!

Who are the 5 kings? Just for confirmation. ^_^

Also can someone please explain the "Divine Right of Kings" or whatever that is called. I know it means that they are chosen by God or something like that.

Thanks.

Duncan,Macbeth,Malcolm,Edward and Sveno.

They are Gods representative on earth when Macbeth obtains the crown he is not God's chosen subject and so Scotland is engulfed by night. Only when Malcolm defeats Macbeth and obtains the crown does light finely conquer darkness.

Well you have Macbeth, Duncan, King Edward, Macduff but I'm not sure on the fifth.

Edit: D'oh, beaten to it.

He's the King that's invading Scotland at the very beginning. Macbeth and Banquo are fighting against his forces. But you'd only need to mention him like once in an essay on Kingship because he's not in it after that.

I dunno why people are talkin bout kingship so much though. Is it a set theme on the course or something?

Ah right! Thanks! I didn't realise he was named...theres not much to say about him past that he tried to invade Scotland though is there? btw Kingship came up as a question before so I suppose thats why people are talking about it coming up again!

look at the marking scheme for the 2007 macb question, power its use and abuse its pretty much a kingship question in disguise, i really do not think it will be on the paper.. well i am hoping not

GTFO!

Duncan - Good but flawed
Macbeth - Evil Tyrant
Malcolm - Good and learnt from mistakes of his father
Edward - God like King

I dunno if I'll do this question, a lot of new quotes to learn. But it is likely hmmm

Stev_o

I just wish it was this Sveno

LivingDeadGirl

Its not that likely as a question is it? As someone said already, power came up the last time. Wouldn't evil/the supernatural/appearance vs. reality be more likely as the theme question?

The thing I hate about Macbeth, and the reason it's gonna screw up my English grade, is that you can't really predict whats gonna come up! I've tried and I really dont think there's a pattern!! you just have to know the play, it's characters and its themes very well! not that I do, but you know, you should!

Des23

Kingship came up explicitly in 95 I think aswell, I don't see why they would bring it up 3ish times in 12 years when there are so many other themes aswell.

Freaking out now! Taking down the kingship essay someone linked to, hopefully some of it will sink in......
